Chapter 97 Now, how confident are you?
"What does it mean?"

Akimichi Tsutomu, who was standing to the side, scratched his head.

"Actually, it's very simple, like choosing Jiraiya-senpai."

Nara Jonin let out a deep breath: "It might create a replica of the future Jiraiya-senpai, the cripple who had his limbs broken by Lady Tsunade for peeping into the bathhouse."

"It is also possible that it will create a mirror image of Jiraiya, who will become the Fifth Hokage in the future."

"..."

When they heard the first sentence, everyone's expressions were a little strange, but when they heard the second sentence, their strangeness turned into horror.

Why are the abilities of these two swords so bizarre, each one more so than the last?

It is said that the Fourth Mizukage's "Water Release: Water Mirror Technique" creates clones that are exactly the same as the enemy, and can use the same ninjutsu as the opponent, with the same power.

This is already an extremely powerful ninjutsu.

However, the limits that these so-called "fake mirror images" can reach are even more terrifying.

At this moment, even Hinata Kumokawa fell silent, feeling a bit of a toothache.

He even suspected that the system was malfunctioning; could something be created with just a few thousand points?
Although the current initial state is as expected, these seven swords have the potential to grow.

Is it possible that these creations, which are so unknown even to ourselves and resemble random lotteries, are the most cost-effective choice?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was indeed true before: the more requests you made, the more points you had to spend...

This kind of realization ensures that the plan will not have any flaws.

In contrast, the results of randomness are not stable. At least he did not expect that the abilities of the two swords in Jiraiya and Kakashi's hands were so strange. Fortunately, he had the primary ownership in his own hands.

However, given the system's rule that it can only materialize within the power structure of this world, how were these two time-related elements created?

"Could it be the so-called dragon vein? Or the 'Li' of the Otsutsuki clan that can travel through time?"

Just as Hinata Kumokawa was deep in thought, he suddenly felt several gazes fixed upon him.

She subconsciously looked up and met everyone's gaze.

"Yunkawa." Jiraiya stared intently at him. "It's your turn."

However, Kakashi, who believed he understood Hyuga Kumokawa, had no expectations of whether he could draw his sword.

Yun Chuan's character is completely inconsistent with the Seven Sins.

If Kakashi knew about the "Seven Virtues," he would definitely think that Hyuga Kumokawa would be a perfect fit.

Chastity, diligence, generosity, humility, gentleness, temperance, and tolerance.

However, Yun Chuan hesitated at this moment, unsure which sword to draw.

He felt like he possessed all seven deadly sins...

After a moment's hesitation, Hinata Kumokawa stepped forward.

He grasped the very center one, the one called "Greed".

hum!
Greed manifests as an uncontrollable desire, and the other six sins are essentially derived from satisfying this irrational desire.

Hinata Kumokawa, when he pretends to be a good person, is gentle, humble and polite; when he pretends to be a bad person, he is condescending, cold-blooded and arrogant.

But the real him is neither of those two.

Rather, it's the ambition to possess everything, the desire to satisfy and control everything.

Strength, achievements, status, power...

Want more, control more.

Just like the human race, because of the desire for more, we never stop moving forward and are always on the move.

The same applies to Hinata Kumokawa.

He wanted more than anyone else.

Click.

He drew "Greed" from the sword case.

The blade has a dark silver base and gleams like glass under the light.

The handle is wrapped with dark red, vein-like protrusions; when you hold it, you can feel the faint pulse.

The most striking feature is the tsuba (guard) on the blade.

The closed horizontal pupil was embedded in the center, and the moment Hinata Kumokawa pulled it out, that horizontal pupil suddenly opened.

Everyone felt the "spying," as if the gaze of that eye was licking them inch by inch, and they couldn't help but shiver.

"What kind of ability is it?" someone couldn't help but ask. Everyone stared at Hyuga Kumokawa, expecting his answer, but they didn't notice that Jiraiya's gaze was gradually becoming strange.

"A mirage, a reflection in water, controlled by the five senses."

The sound didn't come from in front of them, but from behind all of them.

The people in the tent were stunned for a moment, then as if waking from a dream, Hyuga Kumokawa disappeared before their eyes.

They turned around following the sound and saw that Hinata Kumokawa was already standing behind them.

"This is..." the Nara clan Jonin said in a deep voice, "...similar to the Kurama clan's bloodline limit?"

The Kurama clan, a once-glorious ninja clan, can use genjutsu to manipulate the five senses of others, making them exist in a genjutsu space.

Hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell...

Moreover, those under the illusion will also suffer real harm, which is the terrifying aspect of this family's bloodline limit.

Any member of the Kurama clan who has awakened their bloodline limit is a powerful individual; however, no member of the Kurama clan has awakened their bloodline limit for decades.

Nowadays, a knife can do all of this.

Just now, only Jiraiya was unaffected by that sword.

If Hinata Kumokawa wanted to kill them, wouldn't it be an easy task?

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, but they were also relieved that these seven strange swords were in Konoha's possession.

If it falls into the hands of other villages, they will surely feel chilled and terrified.

The existence that forged these three swords.

It's absolutely terrifying...

Kakashi Hatake's eyes were extremely complex at this moment, showing both fear of the "jealousy" in his hand and incomprehension of Hyuga Kumokawa's "greed".

But these seven swords are designed to examine the soul, so he wouldn't doubt that Hyuga Kumokawa was an evil person.

Just as he could not possibly know that Jiraiya's true nature was laziness, he himself did not even know that his true nature was jealousy.

The essence of greed may not just be "greed," but rather the desire to possess more because one has lost too much in the past.
Thinking of this, Kakashi Hatake's gaze towards Kumokawa Hyuga gradually softened...

[Ding! Your lie has been judged as [Fake Becomes Real] [Fake Becomes Real]. Jiraiya, Kakashi Hatake, Shizuka Akimichi, and others experienced intense emotional fluctuations, reaching the level of [Feeling Awe]. You have gained 4000 Truth Points.]

[Remaining realization points: 14254]

As he gazed at the surprised and delighted crowd before him, Hinata Kumokawa heard a notification in his mind, confirming that he had lied once again.

The "Greed" weapon in his hand does indeed have the ability to be controlled by the five senses.

But this is only the initial capability that the knife has shown.

The real name of this ability is...

"Cognitive dominance".

Hinata Kumokawa silently recited in his heart.

The person being stared at by the eye on the knife will have their perception altered to some extent.

However, the human brain is an absolute forbidden zone, and Hinata Kumokawa doesn't know when he will be able to achieve the level of "thought imprinting".

For example, if you change common sense and tell someone that "the water is poisonous," they will notice it, but it's not possible to do that now.

Just by briefly dominating the senses of the dozen or so people present, Hyuga Kumokawa had already exhausted almost all of his chakra.

Even so, it is one of the abilities that best suits him, and it allows him to do more.

Flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.

The flower in the mirror is not a flower, and the moon in the water is not the moon.

Thus, of the seven swords in the box, three have found their "masters".

"What happened today must not be revealed. Seal the remaining four swords and send them back to Konoha for safekeeping immediately."

Jiraiya solemnly instructed everyone present, even placing a restriction on them, before turning to Hyuga Kumokawa with a smile and saying, "Kumokawa, now, how confident are you?"

Hinata Kumokawa raised his head, revealing a gentle smile, and said, "Perfect."

The ground forces will fully cooperate with him to launch a surprise attack on the Cloud Village forces.

This time, he wants to make his true name known throughout the ninja world and to possess real power and influence.
